70% of India lives in Villages.Right from my schooldays I have been hearing of this statistic. I am not sure how true it is. It would be certainly more than 10 years since I first came across it and shouldn't the number show some change, considering that there has been a lot of migration from the villages to the cities during this time. I don't understand where these statistics come from. But that's not the topic of this post.
Let's put the number at 60%. That means 3/5th of the Indian Population is not being provided the opportunities to realize their potential. Can you imagine what would have been the result if these neglected people were also given the education/health facilities on par with what their counterparts in the urban India enjoy? Wouldn't we have been the biggest economic power in the world.
Let's not delay it any further. They say: "Better late than Never".
